Having already perfected its take on the simple suede sneaker, Japanese label Buddy now adds bags to its arsenal of well-made, colorful accessories. New for Spring/Summer 2013 is the Tote Backpack, a cross between a tote and a knapsack in high-quality materials and vibrant hues. Made in Japan from a combination of suede, leather and cotton, each bag features two handles in addition to its adjustable straps and like the label’s shoes, will only look better with use. Thoughtful details like suede zipper pulls and Buddy’s individualized leather patches, meanwhile, add subtle design touches to the simple package.

Buddy’s Spring/Summer 2013 Tote Backpack is available now in navy, mustard, black or red from our online store.
